Andy75 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Well, the time has come (unfortunately) to let my little Ginger baby go. I've had great fun with her this year, and she has been only really used as a third car. I looked for more than a year before going for this one - the right colour, the right spec, the right interior. Well for me it was anyway! Usual fantastic UK GT spec : Rays forged alloys (good tyres all round)Brembo calipers all-roundFull orange leather interior (heated, electrically adjustable seats)6 speed gearboxBose 6 speaker system, 6 CD in-dash changerBuilt-in bluetooth phone control (steering wheel controls)Cruise control (steering wheel controls)Climate control / Aircon (lovely and chilly!)Limited slip differential It's just not worth going for the cheaper non-GT models - they are cheaper for a reason - no one wants them! GT is the only way, and as mentioned in the title - this is a UK, non-imported car. She has been upgraded slightly with minimal enhancements : DBA front discsEBC rear discsDS2500 pads all roundScorpion stainless backbox & centre pipeK&N high flow oil filterFuchs Engine oilLater revision velocity stack reproduction She has done 67,000 miles, and has a full Nissan service history, though I have changed the oil since her last service to something that's a bit more specialist (Fuchs Race Pro). The gearbox is perfect and not notchy or grinding like a lot of others - the clutch is also fine. She is also washed and waxed once a fortnight, if she has been driven or not. In case you didn't know -350Z's are 3.5 litre V6 powered, through a 6 speed manual gearbox (in my case, not auto obviously), and rear wheel drive through a limited slip diff. Ginger comes with original Nissan Z floor mats in the front and an original vertical tonneau that divides the boot in two under the rear strut brace. The ONLY "bad" bits on this car are : Clicky CV's when in reverse - a very common fault (check the forums), easy fix (as per Nissan) or buy a reconditioning kit from someone on the forum 2 small areas of missing paint - one on front corner of the bonnet (its aluminium so it doesn't rust) and on the pointy bit on the front OSF wing, which is very small and hardly noticeable. Both blemishes are smaller than 5mm across, but I like to mention it now rather than later. The handbrake cable could do with tightening a bit - I slackened off the adjuster a tad too much when fitting the rear discs, so could do with being wound back out to give a better handbrake feel. This car will be sorely missed, but I need to bump my deposit for our house move up a bit, so a quick (CASH ONLY!) sale is preferred. Tax and MOT in place until January 2012. I'm located nicely for M40 / M5 / M6 / M42 travel, in south Warwickshire. All paperwork including manuals are with the car, as well as ALL THREE KEYS! So that's two ignition keys, plus the valet key - as supplied when she left the dealership. Not many Zed's around these days with all 3 original keys still! She is for sale on Pistonheads and eBay, but a 350Z forum buyer will get the brand new and as yet unfitted ZSpeed aluminium undertray for free Price is £6950 - sorry for forgetting that first time around!
